We had a lovely stay here! Karen and Paul were stupendous hosts. The apartment was great and we loved the small details. 10/10 would go again.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay in your beautiful, well-equipped apartment. We had some wonderful trips and walks locally: the Cady Gorge; the walk to Les Orgues and caves/ramparts at Villefranche were high points. Many thanks for all your help and kindness - especially Karen's cakes!
